LEDs for M Boards

LEDs for M Boards

2007-11-11 by slammah2006

I heard that there was a spot on the M boards where you could connect a
LED which would indicate which oscillator was sounding in Rotation....

This would be usefull to me in tuning....
Does anyone have information to this...
Would this LED alter any of the sonics of the Synth

I built a board for this and talked about it here a couple of years
ago. Here are pictures of the board:

Here you can see where the 8 gate wires, plus power and ground, attach
to the KAS board (ribbon cables in lower right). I just tapped the
TR1-TR8 outputs of the KAS board. I didn't want to attach the LEDs
directly, since it could be too much load.

I suppose you could put the circuits on the M boards, attached to the TR
inputs. I think it was easier, and more easily removable, to have it all
on one separate board.

Not at all.
